It has been especially meaningful for my family when my partner stayed home with our first child who was over 1 year old AND when we added to our brood. The family centre enabled me to parent my toddler and newborn in ways that were appropriate for each one's developmental stage. The staff made us feel confident, competent and provided critical support to our parenting.

The Yk Family Ctr is an excellent resource for families across the city, from all different demographics, and often struggling with numerous challenges. The Ctr offers an oasis of reprieve and relief for families, and especially single parents and stay-at-home parents who would otherwise find it difficult to find temporary child care. For most families in town, there are no other casual child care options. The Yk Catholic School Board, and the city, should be doing everything they can to find an alternate location for the Yk Family Ctr so that it can keep its doors open,a and continue doing the great work it is relied upon by so many for.

As a special education teacher and a grandmother, I champion the Yellowknife Family Centre for all the programs, resources and support it provides to children, parents and participants.
While the education it provides is priceless - most important are the wonderful people who are making it happen. It is a place to RECEIVE but just as impactful - it is a place to GIVE.
EVERYONE - organizers, educators, supporters, participants, recipients - children, parents, seniors - strong, weak, able, disabled, rich, poor - ALL have something to give and ALL will be able to receive something to enrich each and everyone.
The Family Centre is a village.

Yellowknife needs a centre for families and their children or families and these children will leave, and where will that leave YK?!

We arrived in Yellowknife in 2013 and the Centre was recommended to us by some Health professionals. We felt so blessed to be part of it and to have such a beautiful centre with the friendly and helpful staff.

The Yellowknife family Centre brought families together with valuable programs such as parenting workshops, social classes, family fun nights, knitting classes, healthy cooking classes and the amazing gym program at the Field House. These are few of the Centre's programs that bonded Yellowknife families and their children.

We cannot imagine how we would have coped without this wonderful facility. It is truly a unique asset for families with young children arriving in Yellowknife. We highly recommend continued support for the Yellowknife Family Centre and would even suggest a strengthening of the Centre's resources. Few facilities anywhere are more deserving of public support.
